After stumbling across an unusual door knocker I decided to have a look around to see what else was out there. I couldn’t actually believe that some of these door knockers were real.
We’ve got a dragon, a crab, a cat, a dick and more.
Not much you can say about door knockers to be honest just check out the unusual door knocker list below.
Labyrinth Inspired Door Knocker
You haven’t lived if you haven’t seen the 1980’s classic Labyrinth, starring David Bowie. Well anyway if you have then you are sure to remember the 2 talking door knockers (the clip from the movie is below).
One has the door knocker through his ears, so he’s deaf and the other through his mouth, so he can’t talk. It’s hilarious! Probably one of the most memorable parts of the film for me.
Well the funny door knocker list would just never be complete without these two featured at the top!
Obviously these were created in real life so you can now own your very own, they don’t talk though. Boo.
You can get yours from lots of different places but the ones below are about the best I’ve seen. Made from resin cast and hand painted.
Big Ball Sack Door Knocker (Testicles)
Who wouldn’t want to offend everyone!
The aptly named “doorballs” is one of the funniest door knockers i’ve ever seen in my life. Looks a bit like me when I get out the shower. All balls and no tackle.
This door knocker features a man with a german porno tash, striking a pose with his hands behind his head letting his balls swing.
To knock your visitor is going to have to handle these big testicles.
Available in both toughened plastic and brass!
Dick Door Knocker
We’ve had the balls now it’s time for the penis! Yup a realistic dick door knocker. OK maybe it’s a bit “pink” but it’s been sculptured well.
These are hand-made and they are made from an actual penis. According to the etsy shop the owner states that they are cast from real men who come to their studio.
What’s even better is if you really want you can visit the studio and have your own penis cast and turned into a door knocker. You’re going to have to be pretty well endowed if you want to hear when someones at your door!
Made from a tough urethane and mounted on a wooden plaque. Ladies and gents the real dick door knocker.
Brass Turtle Door Knocker
Perhaps not so funny as the last few but the turtle is an unusual doorknocker if nothing else.
Kind of reminded me of my teacher at school Mrs Turtle, strange name, but she “tortoise” well (drop the mic)
Made from antiqued brass the sea turtle door knocker measures 6″ x 4″ and would look cute on anyone’s door.
Pirates of the Caribbean Skull Door Knocker
“Not all treasure’s silver and gold, mate.” Some treasure comes in the shape of a door knocker, next up on our list is this pretty awesome Pirates of the Caribbean skull door knocker, complete with red bandana!
Made from resin cast, hand painted, with a cast iron door knocker this pretty awesome pirate skull is inspired by “dead men tell no tales” Greet your guests with a pirates welcome “arrrr shiver me timbers who be knockin’ at th’ door? Come in ‘n lets drink some rum!”
Gothic Dragon
A mans home is his castle, and what’s a castle without a dragon? Would you take a look at this cast resin “Nemesis” dragon! The detail is incredible and it will add character to your front door. Be the envy of all your loyal subjects.
It doesn’t breathe fire though which is a shame, however I’m sure some genius engineer out there could mod it!
It measures approx 10 inches tall, 6 inches wide, and 2 1/2 inches deep.
Mermaid
I’m not sure why you would want a mermaid on your front door unless you live on a boat? Or by the sea. Nevertheless it’s a rather unusual one for the list!
Made completely from brass with some shells covering up her modesty
So how did the mermaid afford her new house? She prawned everything. Boom. He’s done it again. Drop the mic.
Rick & Morty Door Knocker
Officially licensed product from the Rick & Morty show shaped like the head of Rick the genius! Made completely from cast resin and each is individually hand painted. If you’re a fan of the show what better way to show your appreciation.
A crazy, strange, unusual door knocker to get your guests talking!
Measuring 22 cm.
Crab Door Knocker
Well we’ve had the mermaid so we thought we better feature the crab. I mean who’s Ariel without Sebastian. Under the sea….You’re singing it in your head aren’t you.
Again I don’t understand why unless you live by the sea or on a boat but it’s an unusual doorknocker so it belongs here.
Created by the “artist” Michael Healy, this crab door knocker is solid brass cast and hand finished.
It’s going to set you back a pretty penny though seen as though it’s “art”.
Bumble bee
A Bumble Bee door knocker crafted from solid brass and made in the UK. Rather unusual to say the least but I imagine this would be a cool feature for a countryside manor house.
Knock Knock! Who’s there? BUMblebee. BUMblebee who? BUM ble bee cold if your pants fall down.
Steam Punk Octopus
Steam Punk really has grown in popularity over the past 10 years they even have festivals in my home city! I initially thought how lame, however after seeing the costumes….they are pretty awesome.
Steam Punk Octopus Door knocker with insane detailing. Some may say a work of art. I much prefer it to the crab above.
Made from a resin mold with a cast iron knocker its 8.5 inches tall and 5.25 inches long. They call it the Octowarrior and are compared to war engine tanks that are used today, apparently the creator said it’s tentacles can shoot acid and melt the faces of your guests.
One of the most unusual door knockers I believe! Pretty cool though.
Kissing Door Knockers
Awww one for the ladies and the gents that are in touch with their feminine side. The kissing door knockers that actually kiss when your guests knock.
Based on a popular knocker from the Victorian times, it’s a piece of history and a rather unusual door knocker to say the least!
Made from solid brass.
Cat & Mouse
These are so ugly. I’m not saying cats are ugly before you cat lovers unleash hell on me. These cat door knockers are ugly and scary. They remind me of something you would find on a witches door, or the scary cat lady that lives in the derelict house in the middle of nowhere.
These are made from solid cast and feature an ugly cat with evil eyes about to eat a poor mouse.
Creepy cat door knocker. Scare the shit out of the neighbourhood kids.
Well that concludes the unusual and funny door knocker list.
